Light Emperor Kreis: effect released


Recommended Posts

Not entirely true, if you have a set Dark Coffin on your side of the field, you could destroy that, you're opponent'd have to pick an effect, plus, you draw a card.

 

Not a whole lot you can gain from this, but there are strategies, however very limited as well as the chances of a successful pull-off.

i've seen a combo here...

 

kreis + hero medal... need to say more??

 

 

but i don't get it... you praise dark bribe' date=' and it gives your opponent a card... so what's the big deal?? in the right deck this card is dreadful...

okay well problem is Kreis CANNOT attack after using its effect. sure you destroy 2 dangerous cards, but you most likely lose hand advantage, and you dont get to give extra damage.

i wouldnt say so.

 

Lets go over each's effect.

 

Raiza:

 

Return one card to the top of the owner's deck. this is a +1 for your Field Advantage, plus it makes your opponent draw a worthless card resulting in a dead draw (+1), therefore giving you hand advantage, making that +1 for you. so +3 in all.

 

Gaius:

 

Remove one card on the field from play. thats a +1. if its a Dark Monster. but it likely will not be, seeing as you may be removing a spell/trap or you might be fighting CB's, Cloudians, Stratos Toolbox, other monarchs, other stuff. but of course the card may not be usable again. but with so much returning these days, plus increased playability of Macro Monarchs due to LADD, youre likely to hit a facedown Scoutplane and have it return and basically the effect does nothing but clear the field for a turn and do a bit of damage.

LOL ANYONE WHO SAYS THIS CARD IS GOOD FOR APPROPRIATE OR DARK COFFIN DOES NOT DESERVE TO HAVE IT.

 

So you'd rather have it and not use it than have someone else have it that would use it?

 

It is a bit combo oriented but I do like it. You can set a useless Spell or Trap to draw a card. Actually, it would give some more power to Combo decks.

If you have a piece of a combo that's useless right now, why not destroy it to draw a card?

 

Or even destroy tokens?

 

But why not use Dark Coffin? Assuming you Special Summon Kreis and you have 2 dark coffins

-2 Dark Coffins

+2 Draws

+2 negatives for opponent (Destruction of Monster/Discard)

 

That seems pretty good to me.

 

But I do understands its shortcomings

Assuming you used both Destruction on opponent (Special Summoned)

+2 Destruction

-2 opponent draw

 

But you do get to clear the way for a pretty big attack (Potentially, not by Kreis)

 

 

Or in a 1-1 destruction you can gain +1

 

+1 Opponent Destruction

+1 Your Draw

-1 Opp. Draw

-1 Your Destruction

(+1 Opponent Destruction - Assuming Dark Coffin)

actually, kreis is a very good card....it has the potential to wipe the field, either player draws........the player will use kreis in a burn/stall deck since they dont base around attacking

this Card isnt intended for the basic monarch build, but more on the strategy aspect. The best thing to do is obviously destroy your own cards. Destroy cards that has an uber effect of activating when they are destroyed, like security orb, dark coffin, wicked statues, oja magic, etc. Plus, they way its writen now (although it may get changed.) the second effect looks continuous. So Use things like Generation shift on your cards, or assult on ghq, etc. I mean this could be hot. Whats better than using assult on ghq on your Flamming chicken, Peel 2 cards off ur opponents deck while drawing 1, setting a dark coffin, than next turn bring back the chicken to destroy the coffin, draw an extra card, and forcing ur opponnet to give something up.

 

But again its not for the average monarch deck, this is more strategic.

well, the effect says: "when this card is succesfuly -bla bla bla- you CAN destroy up to 2 cards on the field -bla bla bla-"... so the effect is optional, you can decide when you need cards on your hand, or when you have to attack...

 

also, this card resolves a question that the monarch deck needed to resolve a long ago... the drawing power...
